Psalm 129

A Song of degrees.

129:1
¶ Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
129:2
Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
129:3
The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
129:4
The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
129:5
Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
129:6
Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
129:7
Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
129:8
Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
